Sometimes there will be days where everything is blurry and just feels gloomy. However, the sessions help my daughter understand the frustration of things. Sometimes the reality kicks in when someone else says rather than the parent and these sessions help my daughter understand we are not the bad guys.

Mrs.Ford provided a lot of information and provided a lot of knowledge of what the diagnosis could be. I found it help to understand the plan moving foward and how we will address sessions as we go. I found it helpful that this program is what we are looking for, for my daughter's well being.
